On Monday, April 8, Atlanta-based casting company Cl Casting shared in a statement that they have parted ways with Paramount+ crime drama “Tulsa King.” The statement didn’t just come a few weeks before production of season 2 commenced, it came after allegations that the lead actor Sylvester Stallone, and executive director Craig Zisk made disparaging comments about background actors emerged online.
Prior to that, on Sunday, April 7, Rose Locke Casting who was hired to provide young actors of about 18 to 30 years for the upcoming season, took to their Facebook page to share that they will no longer be a part of the show, “We wanted to send you an update on the happenings here in our casting world. We have chosen to part ways with Tulsa King. We will be finishing up next week and the 12th will be our last day. We send well wishes to whomever takes over the show.

In the "Star Trek: Prodigy" episode "Mindwalk", the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar has learned that their ship is infected with an insidious computer virus planted by the evil Diviner (John Noble). It seems that the virus can be spread through mere communications channels, meaning Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), and the rest of the Protostar teens can't explain who they are to the grumpy Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) pursuing them in a massive vessel called the U.S.S. Dauntless. If the virus infects a ship, its systems will be rewired to automatically attack other Federation vessels. The Diviner aims to destroy the Federation before a cataclysmic future event occurs; the Diviner, naturally, is a time traveler.
With the Dauntless on their tail, Dal realizes that he can communicate with Janeway. Dal, it seems, has some mild and latent telepathic abilities, and reaches out to communicate directly to Janeway's brain.

In a statement Wednesday, SAG-AFTRA says it has not been contacted about the accusations of a “toxic environment” on the Atlanta set of the Sylvester Stallone Paramount+ series “Tulsa King,” and that it also does not represent background actors in the city.
But the guild offered “to support with guidance” if background actors in Atlanta need it, and said “there is no room on any set for disparaging comments to background actors or any performers” on Wednesday.
On Monday, accusations began circulation on social media that over the weekend on the “Tulsa King” set, Stallone mocked background actors on set, calling them “fat” and “ugly” and asking for “pretty young girls” to be brought to the set.
Later that day, Catrett Locke Casting shared it had quit the project.

SAG-AFTRA has responded to the allegations that “Tulsa King” star Sylvester Stallone created a “toxic environment” for background actors on the Atlanta set of the Paramount+ series.
“There is no room on any set for disparaging comments to background actors or any performers,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson said in a statement. “Though we have not been contacted directly about the incident on set of ‘Tulsa King’ in Atlanta, SAG-AFTRA is committed to the safety and well being of cast members on all productions.”
The statement also noted that SAG-AFTRA’s “TV/theatrical agreements do not cover background actors in Atlanta,” but the union is “here to support with guidance if requested.”
A source close to production says that the matter has been addressed on set by department heads, with an emphasis being put on the need for a respectful workplace. Stallone hasn’t commented, and a Paramount spokesperson didn’t respond...

Sylvester Stallone has been accused of creating a “toxic environment” on the Atlanta set of the Paramount+ series “Tulsa King” by making disparaging comments about background actors, among other allegations.
Rose Locke, a casting director on “Tulsa King,” is said to have quit the series. A representative for Stallone declined to comment.
“Tulsa King,” which was created by “Yellowstone” superstar showrunner Taylor Sheridan, is currently filming its second season in Atlanta. Season 1 of “Tulsa King,” which premiered in November 2022, was filmed in Oklahoma where the show is set. Paramount+ is said to be aware of the allegations.
The claims against Stallone that sparked discussion among background actors were ampified on social media by TV writer Julie Benson (“Star Trek: Prodigy”). On April 8, Benson posted two screenshots on X and wrote: “Got this disturbing news from my Atlanta friend who’s background on Tulsa King this wk. Casting agent quit because she was so disgusted.

Tulsa King is embroiled in a controversy surrounding the treatment of its background actors.
An Atlanta-based casting agency has quit the Paramount+ dramedy amid claims posted online that background actors were verbally abused on the set by star Sylvester Stallone. The show is produced by 101 Studios, which is actively looking into the claims, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. At this point, the claims have not been verified, and the show’s director, Craig Zisk, is denying it ever happened.
This is an evolving story, but here’s what’s known so far.
Catrett Locke Casting confirmed on its Facebook page Monday that it was parting ways with Tulsa King, which recently started production on season two.

‘Tulsa King’ Casting Company Quits After Sylvester Stallone Accused Of Disparaging Background Actors
An Atlanta-based casting company has left Tulsa King in the wake of allegations that Sylvester Stallone and one of the directors had disparaged some background actors who were working on the Paramount+ drama.
Rose Locke Casting of Atlanta was hired to find actors ages 18 and over for the second season of the Taylor Sheridan series. But apparently the working conditions on Tulsa King soon became fodder on a private Facebook page for Atlanta-based background actors; Stallone and an unnamed director were accused of calling some of the extras “ugly,” “tub of lard” and “fat guy with cane.” The recipient of the latter comment apparently said later that it “hurt his soul” to hear himself described that way on set.
Allegedly, Stallone then suggested that production bring in “pretty young girls to be around me,” instead.
Rose Locke Casting announced on its Facebook page Sunday that it was leaving the show.

One picketer said it best: “The longer this strike goes, the more detailed these signs get.”
Judging by some of those Simpsons-themed placards, he’s not wrong. But there have also been lots of not-so-veiled references to some of the ongoing strike coverage. (Don’t recognize the reference to Carol Lombardini and The Cheesecake Factory? Read this story. Can’t remember the exact quote about putting people out of their homes? That notorious line originated here.)
Some of the signs also just show signs of fatigue. “I’m gonna be honest I’m running out of clever sign memes,” said one. “Cause, like, seriously?”
It’s now day 120 of the WGA strike and Day 47 of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Here’s what some picketers have to say these days about walking the line.

With great corporate power should come great responsibility. And with that ethos in mind, comic book creators joined Writers Guild of America members on the picket line Thursday, protesting what they called the exploitation of the most vulnerable.
About 40 or so creators (some WGA members, some not) joined the proceedings at one of the gates outside of NBCUniversal on Lankershim Boulevard, with writers such as Eisner winner Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian), Marc Bernardin (Adora and the Distance, Picard), Jeremy Adams (Green Lantern), David Avallone (Elvira), Emmy winners Shawna and Julie Benson (Batgirls and the Birds of Prey), and Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson (Skyward). Rantz Hoseley, the Eisner-winning editor in chief of Z2 comics and independent filmmaker, organized the gathering.
“This is one of those pivotal moments in history,” Hoseley, taking a moment in the shade of the NBCUniversal tower, told The Hollywood Reporter. “The idea of recognized authorship, the...

Updated: Reaction is coming in after the Directors Guild and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a tentative deal on a new three-year contract late Saturday night. Striking writers express some disappointment in their sister union while showing resolve in their own fight for a fair deal with the studios. And, with the Succession finale still fresh in everyone’s mind, many are using memes from the saga about corporate intrigue and backstabbing to illustrate their reactions on social media.
“I wasn’t around in ’08, but this feels like that from what I’ve heard,” a writer working on streaming series told Deadline Sunday. “The WGA takes a stand, the DGA reaps the rewards.”
A veteran showrunner assessed the impact of the DGA pact while also looking ahead to the SAG-AFTRA strike authorization vote which concludes Monday.

The Public House in Los Feliz was packed tonight with writers who showed up for #Wgamix. The mixer was the brain child of writer producer Danny Zucker who announced it only four days ago, in the immediate aftermath of the WGA severing ties with the Ata after their negotiations collapsed and ordering its members to fire their agents.
“Every job I ever got was thanks to networking,” Zucker wrote in the original announcement. “Now it’s up to us to meet & help our new friends. That’s why I’m starting #Wgamix.”
Trying to navigate staffing season without agents, writers have banded together to create support networks with such social media initiatives as #WGAStaffingBoost and #WGASolidarityChallenge. #Wgamix is adding a traditional, face-to-face networking element to the mix.

Update: It took him about a day, but Terry Rossio is now part of a list of people in Hollywood that have issued an apology for using the n-word.
In a series of tweets, Rossio apologized for equating the term “Anti-vax” with the n-word — and he actually wrote out the word in his tweet. He said the use of the word was a “mistake” — just like the many that have wrongly used the slur before him.
“In a recent Twitter post, arguing against stereotyping and hate speech, I referenced the ‘n-word’ (the actual word) as an example of what not to do,” he wrote. “That was a mistake. I am sorry. I now understand that the word has no place in any conversation, ever.”
He continued: “You can’t make a point against hate speech and reference actual words of hate speech. That was insensitive and ignorant. I am immediately...

Terry Rossio, the screenwriter best known for “Shrek,” “Aladdin,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl,” has some thoughts about vaccines. Responding to a tweet by “The 100” writer Julie Benson, he lamented the plight of parents whose children have been “vaccine damaged” and compared the term “anti-vax” to the n-word. The response has not been favorable.
“My heart goes out to all the parents of vaccine damaged children, who have to not only endure the sadness of their loss, but also the vitriol of ill-informed and insensitive people (such as those here). Anti-Vax is equivalent to calling someone a n****r and makes as little sense,” Rossio wrote, leaving the offending word in question uncensored.
There is no scientific evidence supporting the theory that vaccines cause autism, but the unfounded theory persists. As more and more have latched on to the anti-vax movement in recent years,...

Clinging to something that is already lost is a fascinating turn for a story to take, especially when the characters involved are fighting until the very end to gain back that control that is slipping away from them.
"The Warriors Will," written by Shawna Benson and Julie Benson, was an episode coated in blood and surrounded by fire. It was the perfect way to explore how an addiction can drive a story or in this case the characters within the story.
The need to keep a bad presence in their lives was a recurring pattern, spanning across multiple arcs and the resulting consequences that came from them. It was explored in a way that directly mirrored the suffering that went on because of these addictions, not just for the person addicted but for those around them.

Aquaman#3
Story: Dan Abnett Art: Philippe Briones Colors: Gabe Eltaeb
Review: So for some reason, even though Arthur painfully has put together this Atlantean Embassy, even though he’s saved the world (including America) countless times and has proven himself a hero, even though he is a Us Citizen, And even though Black Manta is also an American and blatantly guilty over the explosion at the Atlantean Embassy, we are to believe that everyone is like “well F*! You Arthur,...

Backfire
Directed by Vincent Sherman
Written by Larry Marcus, Ben Roberts and Ivan Goff
U.S.A., 1950
Reviewing movies with the benefit of hindsight offers ample opportunity to discover, analyze and extrapolate the several issues of the day their stories were concerned with. It puts such films into historical context, awarding them a sense of worth perhaps movie goers at the time overlooked. Film Noir is frequently cited as being specific in relating to the American post-Second World War experience, a time during which the innocence of a large and powerful country was shaken, the disillusionment created by mankind’s unhinged ferocious nature exposed during combat having deeply affected returning veterans. People fell on hard times, forced to strive to earn a living all the while reckoning with the truth of human nature. Backfire, from director Vincent Sherman, exposes the down and dirty side of people’s desperation through the...

Stargate Universe did a 180 this week and it’s in the only way a sci-fi show can in the style that Sgu conveys. A hallucinogenic relationship story, this episode does the classic alien plant taking over a body chestnut while giving some interesting character driven psychology and simultaneously giving the audience something new to look at and the actors something new to do.
The basic premise of this episode is that while surveying a new planet, Lt. Scott (Brian Jacob Smith) becomes infected by a plant-like creature. As he suffers hallucinations and falls in and out of consciousness, Tamara (Alaina Huffman) seeks a way to treat him. In a dreamlike state, Scott has a vision of an ideal life back home on Earth, where he is engaged to Chloe, and his shipmates are the family and friends from his hometown.
